Default Jesus Christ dumped from jury pool
Humorous article. I must point out one of the comments on the comment board in response to:

Quote:
Efforts to reach Christ for comment were unsuccessful.
Response on the comment was: "Did you try prayer?"

Attention seeking? Not the kind of attention most people want, but some people are so desperate, any kind of attention would do.

changed her name to Jesus Christ didn't live up to it... she was disruptive and kept asking questions instead of answering them.
You know, I bet you the pharisees thought the exact same thing.

"It is not enough to know that God lives, that Jesus Christ is our
Savior, and that the gospel is true. We must take the high road by acting
upon that knowledge." Elder Dallon H. Oaks

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."

The article said the Jesus Christ was
Quote:
was excused because she was disruptive and kept asking questions instead of answering them.
Wasn't he Savior's life kind of like this too? Upsetting the existing order of religion and also answering questions with more questions, or parables that would often leave everyone wondering what the answer is?

I still don't know how anyone could name themself Jesus Christ. Many latinos I know name their male children Jesus (pronounced HAYZEUS), but I've never heard anyone having the full name of Jesus Christ. It makes me wonder if she was all there.

What an insult in claiming a title of 'Christ'.
